Need Driver's Seat Brown Plaid 83 or 84

Post by DanT »

I am looking for a driver's side brown and cream plaid seat that was used in 83 and 84 on Tercel SR5 wagons. Any leads would be greaty appreciated. I understand that the covering on the backs of these seats can be removed by opening the closure at the bottom, and shipped for much less than the entire seat. The bottom seat pads come off with 4 bolts from beneath the seat frame. The passenger side components will also fit on the frame on the driver's side. If you have a brown plaid seat you are not using, even if it needs cleaning, please let me know. Cash or trade. (I have blue seats from an 85 parts car to trade, or any other part from the blue 85.) I am willing to pay to ship the entire seat if it is in good condition and if that is preferable. (Entire seats come off with 4 bolts from the floor.)

Hey there, I just joined the site but I have a set of front dark tan / brown front seats that I could sell you for $60 for both. They are matching and in really good shape, just need some cleaning here and there. I am located down near scranton, pa about 1.5 hours from you. I will be driving up that way this weekend too... :D PM me if you are interested.

Eurovintage,

The standard seats in the 2wd TErcels are interchangeable but not the same as in the 4wd wagon, he is specifically looking for the SR5 seats for the 4wd wagon. There was a similar seat (in different colors) put in the FWD Tercel-corolla FX-16 (with the 4age engine), but they will not match the rest of the Tercel trim.

Welcome to the list btw.

Dan,

I have a good seat cover for the upper part of the seat in exactly the color you need, it is in good shape (but not perfect). however it is somewhat sun faded (it came out of an '84 T4wd from New Mexico), not badly faded, but a bit lighter color than one from a Northern state. the seat bottom is completely trashed (the part you sit on).

I had replaced both the seat bottom and seat back in a Tercel4wd I recovered from NM. I was going to use it to make a pattern for a future custom upholstery for my car, so I do not really need it other than as a pattern. IF you have a worn or damaged seat back I can use to make a pattern we can trade plus $20?. If you are interested I will give it a close look tonight for overall condition/damage, etc.

The seats in my 2wd were taken out of a 4wd so they should match the 4wd trim... I do also beleive it to have been an sr5. They came out of a junkyard about 20 mins from me. 84 white 4wd wagon. The ones in my car originally.... well they sucked. haha. These were much more comfy.

Perhaps they do match than, but the white SR5 seats are usually blue and white plaid fabric seats, not the brown/tan and white he needs.
